Flora and Son – Shea’s Review

ByShea Angus 19 October 202327 August 2024

You most likely haven’t heard of Flora and Son and if you’re reading this review, unfortunately it seems that the movie is no longer available in theaters.

New episodes every Tuesday 🍿❤️

In this episode of the Screen Love Affair Podcast, we break down Nirvana the Band, the Show, the Movie and Crime 101, exploring how these two wildly different films approach character, tone, and emotional resonance.

First, we dive into Nirvana the Band, the Show, the Movie, a chaotic, hilarious love letter to Toronto that had our audiences buzzing. We talk surprise screenings, electric audience reactions, cultural references, and how the film turns the city into a character through clever visual storytelling.

Then we pivot to Crime 101, unpacking its neo-noir aesthetic, character dynamics, and comparisons to Drive and Heat. We explore themes of friendship, ambition, nostalgia, and loss and how both films, in completely different ways, find unexpected emotional depth…for some of us ;)

🎬 For the love of film and the films we love, follow the show and join the love affair! ❤️
